Throw Out Shim Kit For 82870

The Throw Out Shim Kit for 82870 by HOWE is a precision clutch system component engineered for mechanics and performance enthusiasts working with hydraulic or mechanical clutch assemblies. This specialized shim kit addresses critical clearance and engagement geometry in clutch throwout bearing applications, making it essential for proper clutch operation, consistent pedal feel, and extended component lifespan. Whether you're rebuilding a stock transmission or fine-tuning a modified drivetrain, this kit ensures your clutch system performs reliably under varied driving conditions.

HOWE shims are manufactured to tight tolerances to control throwout bearing preload and travel, which directly impact how smoothly your clutch engages and disengages. By adjusting the effective stack height of the clutch linkage or bellhousing interface, these shims eliminate excess play that causes dragging, chatter, or premature wear. The lightweight design—at just 0.25 lbs—means zero parasitic load on your clutch system, while the compact form factor (2.55 x 1.4 x 6.65 inches) fits seamlessly into existing brackets and assemblies without modification. Precision shims are non-negotiable when restoring clutch geometry after engine bay work or transmission service.

This throw out shim kit is ideal for rebuilding late-model manual transmissions, repairing worn clutch linkage, or dialing in a modified driveline where stock geometry no longer applies. Professional technicians and dedicated DIY builders alike trust HOWE components for their repeatability and fit. Installation typically requires no special tools—shims stack in the relevant bracket or bearing housing to achieve the correct engagement height. Before ordering, verify that your vehicle uses the 82870 assembly specification to ensure compatibility with this dedicated shim solution.
